1. There is a signboard of the heroic character, but the content has nothing to do with the first two episodes of the heroic character. I don't know if it is a compromise of business.

2. There are many Vietnamese in the Hong Kong art scene. The director of this film is Tsui Hark, so is the other director Chen Kexin, and the actor Lu Liangwei...etc. In the history of Hong Kong, the wave of Vietnamese refugees was a major event, no less than the current wave of European refugees. Therefore, there are many movies about Vietnam in Hong Kong movies, such as Xu Anhua's "Departing to the Furious Sea" earlier, John Woo's "Blood on the Street", etc.


3. Regarding political metaphors, it is quite obvious. At first there was a mass demonstration as the brothers crossed the square, then the army came and shot two schoolgirls by mistake. The tank appeared twice, and both were shot upwards. The long barrel of the gun means obviously that the Vietnam incident in the movie often makes Hong Kong people worry about their future. This is also the reason why literary and artistic films like Departing to the Furious Sea were extremely high at the box office.


4. Among the actors, Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung Ka Fai did not perform well, and Anita Mui was average. I think Shi Jian was the best performer. The part where the suitcases were separated when leaving Vietnam and the feeling of rootlessness after arriving in Hong Kong was really touching.

    Apart from the fact that Brother Fa is also called Brother Xiao Ma, the plot has nothing to do with the character of the hero. The story takes place in Vietnam, where the political situation was turbulent at the time. Less unscrupulous shooting scenes, more about love, the individual fate of the little people can only be shaken by the torrent of the background of the big era. Anita Mui is indeed the most feminine Hong Kong actress, and her role as Zhou Yingjie is almost the most important female role in the history of Hong Kong gangster movies. The theme song of the same name "Song of the Sunset" has a beautiful melody and is impressive

    In fact, I didn't like Anita Mui very much at first, but this movie made me realize again that she really has charm +1
